About this deal

The finale is perfect for this story and sets the legion up nicely for the next part in their story. A big block of rubric marines rounds the box and provides an excellent core for a chaos lord to build upon. It’s just under 1000 points so you’ve got points to grow for a full army from this strong foundation. A fairly standard foundation force and savings in line with the rest of the forces on the list, but nothing to really shout about. When last we left them they were broken by the Space Wolves and left licking their wounds on the Planet of the Sorcerers, their new home within the warp.

There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods. For every exalted sorcerer you can include a normal sorcerer or normal terminator sorcerer slotless in a detachment.

The long awaited follow up to A Thousand Sons by Graham McNeill is finally here with The Crimson King! Amon's story is the oddest, pretty much chucking all concepts of time and reality out the window since it mostly takes place within the Warp. After a ritual that see the Thousands Sons reliving the horrors of Prospero which results in Amon's back being broken just like Magnus', the locations of the missing shards are revealed to them, in a way at least. The big set piece at the Sisters of Silence prison where they first run into their prey is pretty exceptionally awesome. Magnus and Lorgar were some of my favorite moments from Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Word Bearers novels and it was nice to have their relationship recognized in this.

Beneath his watchful gaze marches a formidable phalanx of Rubric Marines, arcane automata armed with enchanted weaponry and supported by the eldritch powers of their psychic leaders.

What took them from loyal victims to finally siding with Horus and marching upon Terra with the rest of the traitor legions? There's a lot of mind bending stuff going on, which is perfectly fitting for the Thousand Sons, and Magnus in particular.

Full tracking of what you have read so you can skip to your first unread post, easily see what has changed since you last logged in, and easily see what is new at a glance. Hathor Maat also has a really interesting story arc in here that involves Lucius, and the demon prophet from before, now bound in a machine body by Magnus, acts as the devil in their ears, but also their guide on their quest. Ahriman is riveting as always, and Magnus continues to be one of the most tragic figures from the Heresy.Near Mint condition cards appear 'fresh out of the pack,' with edges and surfaces virtually free from all flaws. On the Planet of the Sorcerers Magnus is beginning to fray, his soul having been shattered at the same time as his back was broken by Russ. I would definitely recommend you read A Thousand Sons before this, otherwise a lot of it will be lost on you, besides that one book, there aren't any others that are "required" reading.

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:- 1x Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle- 5x Blightlord Terminators- 14x Plague MarinesAll models are supplied with their appropriate bases. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. There are a few other surprise characters from A Thousand Sons who show up during the story, which are a welcome addition, and play a very integral part too. It’s pretty tailored to a specific way of playing, but if you’re a fan of that then you’re looking at a solid box offering decent savings. Morvenn Vahl leads this crusading force of Sisters from the front, backed up by some powerful warsuits and elite foot soldiers.

If you want to get the biggest 40k battleforce value then the Thousand Sons, Knights and Custodes are your best options in our opinion – but what do you think the best box is this year? Nagasena is another creation of Graham McNeil from The Outcast Dead book, and a pretty good character too. After securing the prophet they came for, a demon bound within a sarcophagus, they retreat back to their new home. The Imperial Fists take a bit of a battering here, being the lowest points force and needing quite a a few extra units to get it to an interesting place.
